For the ninth edition of FIMO228, Togo’s international fashion festival, the event’s founder Jacques Logoh is training the spotlight on a diverse cast of models. Larissa Solim Amelete, the face of this year’s event, has succeeded in getting her family to support her modelling career, while Cathy Crussy, a TV producer, is in her 50s. Then there’s Rebecca Attiogbé, who drives a forklift truck for a day job, and Alex Sef, the androgynous muse for Ethiopian label Afropian this season. FRANCE 24 went to meet them.
